    In 1979, China introduced it’s one-child policy in order to decrease the nation’s rapidly growing population rate. Couples of the Han Chinese ethnicity were not allowed to raise more than one child. In this article, I will argue that China’s one-child policy was a good idea because it lowered the pollution rate and allowed more space for families, provided better opportunities for women, and supplied young adults with better futures. China’s one-child policy was a favorable act because it decreased the nation’s rising pollution rate and allowed more space for individuals.…

    Population control in China is horrible to me because I am a very family oriented person. I don’t understand why there is a law stating how many children someone can have. If you are meant to be in this world, God’s will be done. Taking away a beautiful life is illegal and crucifixion and I strongly disagree. Population control in China is horrible to me because I am a very family oriented person.…

    China is and will always be one of the major cultural influences globally, because of his innumerable contributions that are already so much in the East as West heritage within the history of important people. Despite the primitive that may seem some aspects (such as the possession of slaves) this culture continues to amaze us by their great discoveries, which currently represent an essential part of our lives. Thus, without a doubt, China was one of the greatest civilizations in history, that we can still continue to learn and amaze…

    Looking back to recent years one sees, “In 2012, Colorlines reported that about 90,000 undocumented parents of American citizen children were deported each year” (Vasquez). The family is given with no pick or choice American citizen children are set out for this life with no consideration and the number of innocent lives being drastically impacted is a number that only continues to grow. About 4.5 million children are born into undocumented families (Vasquez). Families like those are known as “mixed status” referring to compromised families with different citizenships (Vasquez). These families, besides being targeted for deportation, are also labeled as some sort of outsider…

    Equally important, the leaders of the community control the population with “releasing” identical twins because, “‘Well, they can’t have two identical people around! Think how confusing it would be!’”, or any citizen that has three transgressions to the rules, they stopped “love” by pills, which was a trend; and people lived in the same pattern. With the intention of solving this world problem, I would somehow enforce the mandatory of education of sex, which might sound irrelevant but Japanese students are to learn about their bodies in grade school. And the one-child policy of China seems rather sensitive, as Ryerson stated the contradiction, “China’s one-child policy has been a ‘black-eye’ for the topic. [...] ‘In fact, in China, much of what they accomplished has been done through persuasion.”…

    When a child of an illegal immigrant meets a new person, they have to keep their situation a secret because they fear they will be deported or separated from their parents. Some parents will not enroll their children in school or take them to the doctors because they fear that someone could find out that they are illegal. Illegal immigrant parents work long hours in low-wage jobs just so they can stay “invisible.” Children worry about their parents too. Their parents work in places where their bosses may take advantage of them.…

    The China Syndrome Essay

    In his 1979 film, The China Syndrome, James Bridges brilliantly exposes the danger and room for secrecy that coincides with the large scale production of nuclear energy. And, though the film is fictional, its release date’s synchronization with The Three Mile Island nuclear plant accident in Pennsylvania works to bridge the film’s content into real life relevancy. Not only is the film exciting, as it keeps one on the edge of his or her seat, but the information that it releases about the science behind nuclear energy provides the viewer with a succinct yet informative insight into the areas of nuclear power that is often kept in the dark from the public. In The China Syndrome, two of the main characters - a news reporter named Kimberly Wells and her cameraman, Richard Adams - witness firsthand a reactor SCRAM during their visit to a nuclear power plant.…
